The brief

Launch a satellite TV service across rural and semi-urban Bangladesh with no digital presence at all, in a competitive telecom market with high acquisition costs — and connect online advertising to what was fundamentally an offline, field-sales business.

What we did

Build one integrated growth system instead of running advertising and sales in parallel: region-segmented paid campaigns wired into a live CRM, with the field sales team working the same pipeline in real time.

  • Multi-channel campaigns across Meta, Google, YouTube and TV
  • 20+ creative variations tested and optimised weekly
  • Airtable CRM pipeline for lead tracking
  • Full-funnel measurement via GA4 and Meta Conversions API
  • Region-aware targeting with tailored messaging per district

The results

  • 47,000+ — new subscribers in 80 days
  • 8.1× — return on ad spend
  • −22% — cost per acquisition, month one
  • 64% — of leads closed via CRM and field-sales sync

What we took from it

The campaign did not win because the targeting was clever. It won because a lead created at 11am was in a salesperson’s hand by noon.
